Award-winning Medical & Cosmetic Doctor Ewoma Ukeleghe recommends this Medik8 favourite to ‘all her patients’
When a skincare expert with the dreamiest complexion swears by a product for breakouts, we’re all ears – especially when it’s relating to one of our favourite brands, Medik8.
Award-Winning Medical & Cosmetic Doctor Ewoma Ukeleghe certainly knows her stuff when it comes to skincare, after completing five years of study at the University of Liverpool Medical School, a further two years of foundation training in the NHS, to now founding her own clinic SKNDOCTOR, and being awarded ‘Best Cosmetic Doctor’ in the Marie Claire UK Skin Awards 2020.
Dr Ewoma often shares her professional skincare opinion, and product recommendations on social media whether it’s her Instagram (@drewomaukelegh) which boasts over 200,000 followers, or TikTok (@skndoctor) with over 195,000 followers, and unsurprisingly, a brand which often comes up is Medik8.

One TikTok which gained over 5,000 likes and plenty of comments, showcased Medik8’s £45 CLARITY PEPTIDES™ 10% Niacinamide-Infused Peptide Serum which Dr Ukeleghe described as ‘a spot treatment that seriously changed the game.’
In the video, the skincare expert starts by saying “in my opinion this is the most underhyped product out there.” She goes on to say, “I’m no longer gatekeeping this product, my skin is semi freaking out, I know it doesn’t look it but as you may see there are a few breakouts on my chin and forehead area, but I’ve been using this product and it’s legit calmed down my skin.”
She continues to say, “It’s a product I recommend to my patients all the time for breakout areas, long story short, you need to buy this.”
The spot-clearing serum contains 10% niacinamide which works to improve the appearance of dull, blemish-prone skin while calming and hydrating the complexion.
Not only does the formula visibly enhance the skin’s natural luminosity, but it also helps to minimise oil production and balance skin bacteria to directly tackle the appearance and formation of blemishes. The result – is visibly polished, healthy-looking skin for all skin types with less visible congestion, blemishes and associated redness.
Plenty of fans commented on Dr Ewoma’s TikTok, also raving about the serum, with one user saying: “I have it and love it so much!” A second added: “Yes I love this product, it’s my holy grail!! Medik8 is amazing,” while a third added: “Tried it and loved it.”
Despite plenty of glowing reviews, it seems not everyone is a fan after spotting a negative review on the Medik8 website. One disappointed customer wrote: “I don’t really see results with this one. Also, it’s expensive for a small tube. Barely used it for a few weeks and I was already out. Probably won’t be repurchasing this.”
Now, we know spending £45 on one product isn’t ideal, so if you’re on a tighter budget, but are looking for similar results, we’ve picked out some more affordable options below well worth adding to your beauty drawer for blemish emergencies.
